About one of man’s weaknesses Thomas Wolfe wrote. “he talks of the future and he wastes it as it comes.” (81) This observation is related to a principle by which I try ( without always succeeding ) to live . (82) I believe in living in the present because it is futile to dwell on the past, to worry about the future , or to miss anything in the only reality I know.
It is of no use to dwell on the past. What existed or happened in the past may have been beautiful or exciting and may now bring profound and precious memories; but the past is dead, and it is not healthy for living spirits to keep thinking about a world inhabited by ghosts. (83) The past may also be a place of horror, of regret, of spilled milk, of unfortunate deeds that “cannot be undone,” of sad word like “might have been.” However, it is painful and pointless to stick to a period that cannot be relived or repaired. It is unproductive self-punishment. The past must be kept in its place, outlived and outgrown.
It is also useless to worry about the future. Why fly to heaven before it is time? (84) What anxious visions haunt the person who thinks too much about the future? He may envision the horrible mushroom cloud; the earth shriveling from radiation; the overpopulated, abused earth gone dead. He may imagine his own life going awry, appointments missed; advancements given to someone else; his house burned to the ground; his love lost; everything in his life, as in a nightmare, slipping away from him. (85) There is no end to the disasters a person can worry about when he focuses anxiously on the future. There are events in his future, including his own death, over which he has little or no control, but he can ruin his life worrying about them. There are some disasters he may be able to prevent, but he must do that by living well in the present, not simply by worrying about the future.
